We've talked about the technology gap before. It's the difference between what most people think is possible and what is actually possible. The gap was created and maintained by the military to allow various narrative possibilities. It allows certain powerful people to play God, with you and your loved ones.

The narrative says that Hezbollah threatens the US from Latin America. Specifically, Hezbollah -- a proxy of Iran and a terrorist organization according to the US -- has tentacles from Iran to Lebanon to West Africa to South America's TBA. That much has been long established. The progression of the narrative covered earlier in 2011 brings the tentacles up through Isla de Margarita off the coast of Venezuela, to Central America, and into the US via organized crime. So the story goes.

Generally how these narratives work is that a very minor thing is stretched into something that looks like compelling evidence to people who are predisposed to the narrative. However on closer examination, the whole thing falls apart.

We like to remind readers of this because if we can kick out that lie the whole damn narrative comes down like a house of cards, as it should, before some horribly irresponsible and murderous EXPERTS start another war based on LIES, a war in which many innocent people would die.

The progression of the narrative now involves the ruthless, murderous, sophisticated nature of Hezbollah in Lebanon, the sudden, dangerous loss of the ability to track Hezbollah, and a fuse-like Hezbollah tentacle into Syria.

United States officials are saying that shortcuts, unaccountability,
laziness and general mismanagement are to blame for the compromising of
several CIA informants in Iran and Lebanon who are now feared dead.
A CIA-led program in the Middle East is up in the air after officials
confirmed to news organizations today that paid informants in Iran and
Lebanon working for the US government have disappeared while attempting
to infiltrate Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed military organization
considered a terrorist group by the US.
Iranian intelligence
minister Heidar Mosleh announced in May that more than 30 US and Israeli
spies had been discovered and he quickly took to Iranian television to
broadcast information explaining the methods of online communication
that the agents would use to trade intel. Only a month later, Hezbollah
leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah announced that two high-ranking officers
within his own organization had been identified as CIA spies.Just now,
however, does the US government confirm that not only is this
information true, but they believe that the rest of their
Hezbollah-targeted operations in the Middle East have been compromised.

It is interesting that the spy ring began to disintegrate back in May, but only now are we hearing about the loss of all these informants, who are feared dead but there are no bodies, so who knows. We are told by RT that the two spies originally caught were high-ranking officers within Hezbollah.

In June, Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah said two members of the group
were found to be working for the CIA, and a third member was working
for another unidentified foreign entity.
“When Israel failed to break into Hezbollah’s body, it requested the
assistance of the most powerful intelligence agency ... we have two
cases of spies affiliated with the CIA and one more might be affiliated
with either the CIA, European intelligence or Mossad,” Nasrallah said in
a TV address at the time.He said the two members, whom he described as low-level, had been in contact with diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut.
“Our investigation has found that ... intelligence officers [with the
CIA] have recruited two of our members, but we’ll not name [them] out of
respect for the privacy of their families,” he said.
“The U.S. Embassy ... is a nest of spies recruiting [spies] to serve
Israel. We have become a direct target of U.S. intelligence. This put us
in a new stage of a security struggle,” Nasrallah said....At the time, the U.S. Embassy in Beirut denied Nasrallah’s claims.

“These are the same kind of empty accusations that we’ve repeatedly
heard from Hezbollah,” the embassy spokesman told The Daily Star, adding
that “there is no substance to them.”

Returning to the RT story, supposedly, it all went pear shaped because the CIA informants insisted on meeting at a Beirut Pizza Hut, and used the code word PIZZA, over and over again, for their spy meetings. Sounds pretty stupid. And thus, they were eventually caught out, even after being warned by Hezbollah.

Speaking to ABC News, one former US senior intelligence official
speaking without accreditation saysthat CIA agents were warned to avoid
using the same Lebanon hub for secret meet-ups — a Beirut Pizza Hut
restaurant — though spies continue to use the location for countless
meet-ups with a wide range of informants."We were lazy and the CIA is now flying blind against Hezbollah," the former official tells ABC.
According
to several US officials speaking to the press, the CIA used the
codeword “PIZZA” to arrange for would-be clandestine meetings at the
restaurant. To ABC, however, a current CIA officer denied the
allegations that the entire operations evaporated at the eatery
Others
within the agency, but currently and formerly, say that outside of the
Pizza Hut sting, the revealing of the online communication conducted
between the CIA and informants in Iran led to “dozens” of assets being
compromised. Officials have confirmed that the websites that Intel
Ministero Mosleh showed an Iranian television audience were indeed used
by the CIA in their secret web chats."We've lost the tradition of espionage," one former intelligence official tells ABC. "Officers take short cuts and no one is held accountable.”

Another
anonymous official tells the Associated Press that the CIA was warned
by Hezbollah’s Nasrallah that they were cracking down on American spies,
but the US pressed on despite the consequences.

Sportsmanship... Hezbollah's got it.

One almost does not know what to say. Supposedly we are to believe that the CIA behaves with extreme sloppiness, and are warned that they will be caught, and then they are supposedly caught, and now these stupid spies are now supposedly dead, or maybe it is just the informants who are dead we are not sure, there are no bodies because this is all secret spy business conducted at the Pizza Hut, and it is all a terrible disaster proving....proving.....

....that the CIA is very sloppy and stupid? NO!

It proves that Hezbollah is extremely malicious and deadly, and trouble surely lies ahead, now that we are "flying blind." Obviously people. Get with the narrative.

"Hezbollah has disappeared people before. Others they have kept around,” counterterrorism expert Matthew Levitt tells the AP. "If they were genuine spies, spying against Hezbollah, I don't think we'll ever see them again," former CIA officer Robert Baer tells ABC. "These guys are very, very vicious and unforgiving."

You see, in a way, this is one of those "opportunities" that should not be wasted. "If they were genuine spies..." Well maybe they weren't. Maybe they were expendable people on the payroll, thugs not spies, and they've all been flushed and that allows for a great big dramatic show about the terrible and dangerous Hezbollah, and the perils we now live under, since this grave loss and now we are flying blind....

Regrettables.

Or maybe these people returned to wherever they came from. The point is, who knows. Without evidence, who knows. It's just a bunch of allegations from people who literally lie for a living. It could be 90% true, it could be 9% true.

And if they were genuine spies... ? How might this story be different? Let's think if we have anything to compare.

When Raymond Davis, a real CIA asset, got into trouble and ended up in jail, so much power was brought to bear on his behalf that it strained the US Pakistan relationship to the breaking point. And that all went away nicely, didn't it. Our government paid the blood money to the families of the men killed by Davis on 1/27/11, and Raymond returned to the US in March and became a firearms instructor often working in Washington, DC. In October he was arrested in Denver after beating up a guy in a bagel shop parking lot... which you probably did not hear about. But you can see from his picture that he looks just as creepy as can be, smirking with that creepy dead-eye stare. RAY got away with murder, and he knows it, and we all know it, because he is a very important intelligence asset.

People like Ray Davis and David Coleman Headley seem to be higher level assets. The CIA doesn't just say hoo boy we lost a couple dozen guys this week, shit, we really should be more careful. The CIA moves heaven and earth to get their valuable assets back.

Others say it's unlikely any found CIA agents survived [If you find them, you will know if they are alive or dead???]

More than a dozen CIA spies have reportedly been caught in Iran and Lebanon and the U.S. government now fears they have been executed.

The spies were paid informants who were targeting Iran - which is feared to be producing nuclear weapons - and the Hezbollah group in Beirut.

Their discovery is a big hindrance to U.S. attempts to track Iran’s nuclear activities and discover if Hezbollah is plotting any attacks against Israel.

Ding. Problems dead ahead. It is too perfectly dramatic.

Unsurprisingly, all the usual suspects are weighing in with dire conclusions.

UPDATE 11/29/11: This exact story from humanevents.com is now being reposted as "Intel Experts: CIA Penetration by Terrorist Group is 'Catastrophic'" http://www.aina.org/news/20111128174922.htm

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=47759

"This latest operation by Hizballah’s against a major U.S. intelligence
agency is bordering on an act of war.Lebanon is a sovereign country,
and a terrorist organization has had the freedom to wage
counter-espionage operations against CIA, and they have detained
individuals they believe were working with that U.S. agency. If the
Lebanese government endorses this operation,[then] it would be responsible for
an act of aggression bordering on an act of war against the United
States.” ~ Walid Phares

“If the Lebanese government considers such operations against a U.S.
agency on Lebanese soil as rogue – and conducted without legitimate
Lebanese government authority – then it should demand Hizballah cease
its activities against the U.S.”

Phares also notes that the leak was not an accident. Actually we happen to agree. We think it seems quite likely that this "mishap" was completely intentional, seeing how it advances the narrative so nicely.

“The reality is someone who knew of these names must have leaked them to the organization [Hizballah].”

The leak was not an accident, he said.

Rep. Sue Myrick, bringing the threat home:

"This operation alleged by Hizballah against CIA resources in Lebanon
shows their determination to hurt the United States. This terrorist
organization claims their war efforts are only pursued in their war
against Israel.”

“Their heavy involvement in terror operations against American interests
in Iraq and the Gulf area, and in Latin America all the way to Mexico
south of our borders, shows clearly that they are targeting U.S.
national security.”

“Up against Hizballah on its own turf, it seems that U.S. intelligence
is out of its league. HIzballah's intelligence capabilities, learned
from the Iranians, are highly sophisticated and include the full
classical tradecraft skillset as well as very competent
counterintelligence capabilities.”

The highly sophisticated Islamic jihadist enemy studies cell phone records and cases the local Pizza Hut. CHECK. They teach this skillset in Iran. An unnamed source adds to that conclusion:

“This should come as no surprise to anyone who understands the
sophistication of these jihadist enemies and their professionalism in
the skills of classical clandestine tradecraft...U.S. Intelligence Community failures to identify, effectively confront,
and defeat the Islamic jihadist enemy speak not only to erosion of that
skillset within the CIA, but also to catastrophic failure to master an
understanding of the enemy ideology, the ideology of Islamic jihad...Intent and motivation are as critical as capability to the enemy's
strategy and absent their accurate assessment, will lead as surely to
defeat as failure to measure capability. America's enemies have
penetrated its Intelligence Community in the past and betrayal of top
CIA assets abroad has been tracked to moles deep inside the system more
than once.”

Even Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum brought this problem up during a recent presidential debate. They provided politifact.com an American Enterprise paper as their source. The claims about Hezbollah as a threat to the US trace back to the same groups.You will see if you click through to older posts that the same names, the same think tanks, come up over and over again: the pro-Israel neo-con crowd that brought us the last few wars based on lies and false flags.

We know that Syria is absolutely in the cross hairs, and if the situation can fuse back to Lebanon via the Hezbollah connection, JUSTIFYING an Israeli attack on Lebanon, that would be considered a PLUS to the Israelis. Of course, the "self defense" excuse would be ready to go, given that the CIA spy ring has just been busted and now we are "flying blind" regarding Hezbollah's malicious intents against Israel. Anything that happens can theoretically be blamed on this regrettable situation. Shoot first explain later.

Hezbollah MP Mohammad Raad said Syria, because of Russia’s and China’s
support, enjoys international protection and is immune to military
aggression. He said Syria still had many options available to it in
dealing with its crisis.
“The supportive role for Syria – Russia’s and China’s veto at the
[U.N.] Security Council – tells the world that it is forbidden for
anyone to think of any military action against Syria,” Raad told a
Hezbollah rally in the southern town of Nabatieh. “No aerial sanctions,
no buffer zones and no aggression against Syria,” he said.

The Jpost also seems to be the source of an allegation that Hezbollah will take over Beirut if Assad falls. We have not been able to load the Jpost for MONTHS, so we cannot verify this detail. However, it was reported here:

Al-Arabiya news website on Tuesday cited a “source close to
Hezbollah” as saying that the party might militarily takeover Beirut if
the Syrian regime falls, Israeli daily Jerusalem Post reported.“[Hezbollah officials] have begun to worry about the potential
fallout that may result following the collapse of the Syrian regime,”
the source told Al-Arabiya.

"The moment that Hezbollah feels that
the fall of [Syrian President Bashar al-] Assad is imminent - either as
a result of the popular movement or of foreign military intervention -
it will move quickly to take control of East and West Beirut,"
Al-Arabiya also cited the source as saying.

Of course, this is in EXACT DIAMETRICAL OPPOSITION to the quote from the actual Hezbollah official above, on the same day (11/22/11), that Syria is in no actual danger thanks to the support of Russia and China. We hope that is the case. It would take the weight of Russia and China to prevent what happened to Libya from happening to Syria, because these countries are being USED and DESTROYED according to the Yinon Plan.

This event was not totally absent from violence as March 14 supporters opened random fire injuring four Lebanese civilians.
As many of March 14th are hoping for the downfall of the Syrian
leadership, this comes as there is talk of trying to put Lebanon into a
new role in the Syrian file.
Supporters of Bashar Assad, who represent a significant percentage
in Lebanon as well, accuse the March 14 alliance of being part of a
foreign conspiracy against Syria. This group puts the events in Syria
within the framework of a wider plot to target Iran and Hezbollah as
well as the Assad leadership after this axis made significant regional
gains recently.
This event follows a meeting which was held just a few days ago in
Paris between the leader of the March 14 movement Saad Hariri and French
president Nicolas Sarkozy, who has probably been the most vocal
international anti-Assad voice. It also coincides with reports of
British and French intelligence officers providing military training to
opposers of the Assad regime in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.

The only people flying blind these days are the people who think the US and Israel, and NATO, will bring them democracy.
Don't be a fool. NATO drops the democracy in blindly, as bombs from military jets, onto children and old people, onto houses and hospitals and factories and infrastructure. They just need some excuses.

That's what their narratives are all about... making excuses to do this:

11/13/11

Once upon a time, a long time ago, namely June 2001, our US government ran a national security exercise called Dark Winter simulating a smallpox attack, to see if the country was ready for a biological weapon attack. Conclusion: NOT READY YET.

On June 22-23, 2001, the Center for Strategic
and International Studies, the Johns Hopkins Center for Civilian
Biodefense Studies, the ANSER Institute for Homeland Security, and the
Oklahoma City National Memorial Institute for the Prevention Terrorism,
hosted a senior-level war game examining the national security,
intergovernmental, and information challenges of a biological attack on
the American homeland.With tensions
rising in the Taiwan Straits, and a major crisis developing in Southwest
Asia, a smallpox outbreak was confirmed by the CDC in Oklahoma City.
During the thirteen days of the game, the disease spread to 25 states
and 15 other countries. Fourteen participants and 60 observers witnessed
terrorism/warfare in slow motion. Discussions, debates (some rather
heated), and decisions focused on the public health response, lack of an
adequate supply of smallpox vaccine, roles and missions of federal and
state governments, civil liberties associated with quarantine and
isolation, the role of DoD, and potential military responses to the
anonymous attack. Additionally, a predictable 24/7 news cycle quickly
developed that focused the nation and the world on the attack and
response. Five representatives from the national press corps (including
print and broadcast) participated in the game and conducted a lengthy
press conference with the President.

The players were introduced to this crisis during a
National Security Council meeting scheduled to address several emerging
crises, including the deployment of a carrier task force to the Middle
East. At the start of the meeting, the Director of Health and Human
Services informed the President of a confirmed case of smallpox in
Oklahoma City. Additional smallpox cases were soon identified in Georgia
and Pennsylvania. More cases were reported in Oklahoma. The source of
the infection was unknown, and exposure was presumed to have taken place
at least nine days earlier due to the lengthy incubation period of
smallpox. Consequently, exposed individuals had likely traveled far from
the loci of what was now presumed to be a biological attack.
The scenario spanned 13 days.

Note the smallpox mock up takes place in the winter. Smallpox is a disease of the winter months. It also happens concurrent with an emerging crisis in the Middle East. Emerging crises in the Middle East can be arranged practically anytime. The smallpox is presumed to have been released 9 days earlier, presumably by people who can also foresee the emerging crisis requiring military deployments two weeks later.

Narrative arc of the NYT Magazine article:

1. Many experts believe even a relatively unsophisticated technician (ie: terrorist) can make bioweapons. Only sheer luck has saved us thus far.

2. The assumptions made in the mock exercise assured a disastrous outcome. Real conditions may be very different.

3. Authorities like Michael Chertoff, Admiral Mike McConnell, Admiral Dennis Blair, and Heidi Avery consider bioterrorism one of the highest threats. Therefore it must be true.

4. The government has spent over $60 billion on preparations, including Project BioShield. Despite all this spending, and three redesigned approaches, we are still unprepared. Regrettable.

5. After the anthrax attacks in 2001, everything changed. The government began to take biodefense more seriously, meaning, the government spent money on expanding drug stockpiles.

After the anthrax letters in October 2001, everything changed:by 2002,
spending on biodefense rose to more than $4 billion, from $633 million,
with an emphasis on expanding the stockpile. One of the program’s first
priorities was to increase the supply of smallpox vaccine. Smallpox is
regarded by biodefense experts as the most threatening biological
weapon, because it can spread as easily as the flu and kills about one
in three victims. To expand the stockpile, the Bush administration
called in a legendary epidemiologist. In the 1960s and ’70s, D. A.
Henderson led the World Health Organization’s program to eradicate
smallpox in nature, chasing outbreaks through villages in Brazil, the
mountains of Yugoslavia and the jungles of India before finally
containing the last known cases in the Horn of Africa in 1977.

Today,
smallpox is the only human infectious disease ever eradicated by
science. Returning to public service in 2001, Henderson called in another legend
of microbiology, Maj. Gen. Philip K. Russell, a former commander of the
Army’s medical research program and a figure so revered that one
commanding general was known to keep a bumper sticker on his wall that
read, “What would General Russell do?” Between 2001 and 2004, Henderson
and Russell, along with leaders at the National Institutes of Health and
civilian research laboratories across the country, raced to develop new
production techniques and expand the smallpox-vaccine supply. Today,
the stockpile holds more than 300 million treatment courses.

The NYT article goes then into the sad story of money, and the fights over money, being the main reason why we are still unprepared for new threats, even though we do have a full stockpile of smallpox vaccine. It is all very regrettable, all these budget woes and lobbying efforts, that have stalled progress on other important matters.

It was immediately apparent that the Army’s research on tularemia went
far beyond what is commonly known. In hundreds of experiments,
scientists weaponized the bacteria to extraordinary potency and then
proceeded to mix the slurry with another agent, known as S.E.B., which
multiplied the effects logarithmically, shattering the human immune
system just as the tularemia plunged in. In several large outdoor tests,
scientists drifted clouds of tularemia over cages of live monkeys to
evaluate the infectivity. At high doses, the weaponized bacteria were
determined to have an incubation period of just a few hours. If left
untreated, the combination of tularemia and S.E.B. was projected to
cause death within the same period. Patrick called these “killing
winds.” In one video, he calmly warned, “Between 50 and 60 pounds of
freeze-dried tularemia produced in our production facility would
eliminate about 60 percent of the population of London, England.”

Your tax dollars at work.

QUICK RECAP:

Has the government spent a lot of time and money researching how to make deadly bioweapons? YES.

Siga's drug, an antiviral pill called ST-246, would be used to treat
people who were diagnosed with smallpox too late for the vaccine to
help. Yet the new drug cannot be tested for effectiveness in people
because of ethical constraints — and no one knows whether animal testing
could prove it would work in humans.

No worries whether it works or not. Details. Whatever. The government negotiated a price of $255 per dose, for 1.7 million doses, a profit margin of 180%, which makes Siga's controlling shareholder Ronald Perelman very happy no doubt.

Perelman very "presciently" invested in Siga in 2003, a year before Bush signed the BioShield legislation, which focused on expanding the stockpile of bioterror medications, see above. And despite the haggling over money that supposedly prevented other pharma companies from wanting to do research (see the NYT story), some companies got grants and went ahead on this risky path. Siga of course being one of them. Lucky lucky lucky.

Siga's chief
executive, Dr. Eric Rose, also served on the U.S. National Biodefense Science Board for the past four years, a board which
has advised the government on how to respond to bioterrorism. Being on the inside of that process has no doubt helped Siga take a very aggressive stance in negotiating:

"Siga did not derive its price based on any cost information, and, from
Siga's viewpoint, such information is not relevant to determination of
an appropriate price," the company's chief financial officer, Daniel J.
Luckshire, wrote to Lurie's office and others on March 4. "Siga has created extremely valuable intellectual property, embodied in
ST-246, and Siga has priced ST-246 based on the value of that
intellectual property," Luckshire added.

Bedbugs have plagued humans for centuries. Then, after a half a century
of relative inactivity, the bedbugs suddenly started up again in the
late 1990s. Hmm. Kind of strange. And of course, the bedbugs are harder
to kill than ever. Scientists hypothesize what's up with that.

In the 1940s and ’50s, liberal use of DDT and other insecticides all but wiped out the pests. Scientists hypothesize
that the few that survived proliferated—females can lay up to five
eggs a day, and 500 during a lifetime—and passed along
pesticide-resistant traits. Millions of bedbug generations later,
scientists are finally zeroing in on how, exactly, bedbugs made their
comeback.

Possibilities include:

thicker skin repels pesticides

faster metabolism repels pesticides

chemical blocking repels pesticides

Fort Detrick bio-engineered a bedbug that repels pesticides

Just kidding! The scientists didn't actually hypothesize about Fort Detrick. That was us.

...We read about the bedbugs in Vancouver, and then we read Jennifer Lake's blog about polio and influenza. And in our research about polio and
influenza we watched this video, featuring Desiree Rover (the woman in the top video), and around minute 13 she mentions cimex lectuarius, which
are bedbugs. The video link will open to this slide. And we were
stunned to learn that a Dr. A.R. Campbell, 1865-1931, conducted
extensive research on smallpox, and he discovered that smallpox was caused by bedbugs.
Furthermore, it did not spread person to person, or through the air, or
through clothing, but it struck people with poor hygiene and vitamin C
deficiency.

One would note at this link that a Russian scientist had arrived at the
same conclusions as Dr. Campbell. One might also note the strong
connection to poor nutrition and crop failures:

The most important observation on the medical aspect of
this disease is the cachexia with which it is invariably associated
and which is actually the soil requisite for its different degrees
of virulence. I refer to the scorbutic cachexia. Among the lower
classes of people this particular acquired constitutional perversion
of nutrition is most prevalent, primarily on account of their
poverty, but also because of the fact that they care little or
nothing for fruits or vegetables. That a most intimate connection
exists between variola and scorbutus is evidenced by the fact that
it is most prevalent among the poor or filthy class of people ; that
it is more prevalent in winter, when the antiscorbutics are scarce
and high priced; and, finally, that the removal of this perversion
of nutrition will so mitigate the virulence of this malady as
positively to prevent the pitting or pocking of smallpox. A failure
of the fruit crop in any particularly large area is always followed
the succeeding winter by the presence of smallpox.

The United States stopped smallpox vaccinations in 1972
because the disease had been wiped out in the Americas. Globally, it was
eradicated in 1980, and most other countries also stopped vaccinating. An
important part of the reason that countries willingly gave up
vaccination once the disease was no longer a real threat is that the
smallpox vaccine, more than any other vaccine, carries a significant
risk of serious complications. For every million people vaccinate, 1 or 2
die, 15 suffer life-threatening complications and hundreds of others
have serious skin rashes, infections or other problems.

One might further note the multitude of crop failures current and
expected due to the many freak weather events. One might wonder just how
long before one of these poor people in Vancouver or anywhere acquires
smallpox from an infected bedbug, and then all hell will break loose.
They would have a few different ways to play it, starting we would guess
with: Everyone Must Be Vaccinated Immediately.

In addition, this O104 strain posses an ability to produce special
enzymes that give it what might be called "bacteria superpowers" known
technically as ESBLs:

On top of that, this O104 strain possesses two genes -- TEM-1 and CTX-M-15...so deadly that many people infected with such bacteria experience critical organ failure and simply die.

And this cannot really happen by accident in nature.

When
considering the genetic evidence that now confronts us, it is difficult
to imagine how this could happen "in the wild." While resistance to a
single antibiotic is common, the creation of a strain of e.coli that's
resistant to eight different classes of antibiotics -- in combination -- simply defies the laws of genetic permutation and combination
in the wild. Simply put, this superbug e.coli strain could not have
been created in the wild. And that leaves only one explanation for where
it really came from: the lab.

The e. coli superbug could not have been created in the wild. It came from a lab. As far as we know, the lab has never been identified. No one was ever held accountable.

^^^^^^^

"If we can prove that a biological attack originated in a country that attacked us, then all bets are off."

That was Hillary Clinton and Bill Gates on Face the Nation, 18 months ago, talking about unleashing a devastating conventional attack on any country that uses a biological weapon....

IF THEY CAN PROVE that a biological attack originated someplace.

Well, let's see, did they ever find out which lab made the deadly e. coli mutant superbug? No. That story ended months ago, unsolved. Forgotten. Except as a fear marker in the herd attention space.

But will they be able to PROVE that a biological attack originated someplace specific? How would anyone know? Do you have a lab in your kitchen to prove them wrong? How could you trust a thing these authorities and media tools say? They will say whatever suits their purposes. Once the bioterror drill goes live, so to speak, the UNFORTUNATE MATTER of being NOT READY YET for a biological attack will merge with the FEAR of the INVISIBLE KILLER BIOWEAPON, to create chaos.

The social engineers know that people will be focused on SURVIVAL. They can predict how people will behave because that's what they study.

http://www.hf.faa.gov/webtraining/teamperform/team023.htm

It's all a game to the social engineers. This is a laboratory. We are the rats. The way to mess up their plans is to not behave the way they predict. You have to do the opposite.

Understand that all their plans are based on FEAR, on people behaving out of FEAR.

11/7/11

UPDATED with another video. This time we learn that Sarkozy *really* thinks Netanyahu is a liar and Obama is sick of dealing with him every day. Via the Truthseeker. We suppose this is something to keep in mind when we hear how much our leaders support our best friends in Israel, and how we should all support our best friends in Israel.

^^^^^^^

Switters left two very interesting videos in the comments to the last post. Focus on the news people.

The social engineers are everywhere: on teevee, facebook, at protests, at meetings, in think tanks, on the web. They are in the blogosphere, in comments and with their own blogs. They contribute. They are always working to shape opinion. They use techniques such as the Delphi Technique and the Alinsky Method. These techniques have been perfected over many years.

"Few Jewish radicals have had as much influence over American politics as Saul Alinsky (1909-1972). Born to Russian Jewish immigrants, he graduated from the University of Chicago and then went on to become a community organizer, being one of the first to bring radical politics to Chicago’s Black ghettos. Hilary Clinton wrote her senior thesis (PDF) at Wellesley College on Alinsky and his tactics, and he was a major influence on President Obama, who was trained as a community organizer in Chicago."

Slowly penetrate, infiltrate existing institutions like churches, unions, political parties, websites, blogs. Subtly gain influence within these organizations and then introduce change from that platform.

Fully encourage people in their discontents and divisions.

Train locals in the techniques and have them set the agendas for their local organized groups.

Use loaded questions to manipulate and exploit people to the pre-set agenda. Fan their tensions as much as possible.

The organizer must draw an attack onto himself which then cements his credibility with the people.

“The organizer is in a true sense reaching for the
highest level for which man can reach --

to create, to be a ‘great
creator,’ to play God.”

The enemy of the people must be identified personally.

The enemy must be completely polarized, 100% negative, the cause one of total defeat or total victory.

The ends justify the means.

The radical targets the middle class because it is the largest, and blends in, speaks their language, dresses in their manner, uses their customs, invokes their moral principles.

The organizer must be unpredictable and willing to draw everyone into chaos and confusion for the sake of these moral principles.

Large and loud staged protests project power, even if the movement is small.

“If your organization is small in numbers,

conceal the
members in the dark

but raise a din and clamor that will make the
listener believe

that your organization numbers many more than it does.”

Get people to act before thinking.

React with shock and horror when the enemy commits any error, misspeaks, etc.

Goad the enemy mercilessly, laugh at the enemy, deride the enemy. Use ridicule.

Organizers should always have more than one "fight in the bank," a stockpile of crusades that they can switch between to keep momentum going.

Short jail incidents strengthen the movement.

It is important to recognize that being able to successfully manipulate people, and teaching methods of successfully manipulating people, is not considered unethical by everyone. In fact, it is a special skill prized in our society, prized in politics. Manipulating.... leading.... what's the difference....?

“Charming and self-absorbed, Alinsky would entertain friends with
stories -- some true, many embellished -- from his mob days [he was a friend of Al Capone - ed.] for decades
afterward. He was profane, outspoken, and narcissistic, always the
center of attention despite his tweedy, academic look and thick,

ISN'T THAT GREAT?

Consider all the protests of the past year. Hopefully you were reading Aangirfan instead of watching Wolf Blitzer. Otherwise you might think that was all really real. But even in the blogosphere, consider some of the things that happen. It is the perfect environment, in many respects, to disrupt and neutralize effective voices.

These agents have been trained in methods which were developed for the Department of Defense, and perfected over decades, for purposes of psychological warfare. The organizer blends into the target group, becomes outspoken -- the most passionate for the cause, and then draws an attack onto himself to cement his credibility.

The guy in the center, with colorful and stylish scarf... he looks *extra* angry, *extra* committed.

A photo of Tunisia, at the beginning of the Arab Spring....? Or someplace else.
Strange that only the people in the foreground are yelling.
Lucky that the photographer happened to be in just the right place to capture this moment.

"Masked plainclothes police officers take away an alleged rioter on a motorbike during clashes in Tunis. (AP/Chokri Mahjoub)"

That masked officer is really holding that knife very securely with his fingertips? Because he is very concerned that the dramatic young man with the very long arms will grab it out of his hand? While those other couple of white guys look on? And there are no crowds around in the rioting city?

The Delphi Technique was originally conceived as a way to obtain the
opinion of experts without necessarily bringing them together face to face.
In Educating for the New World Order by Bev Eakman, the reader finds reference
upon reference for the need to preserve the illusion that there is "Lay,
or community, participation in the decision­ making process), while
in fact lay citizens are being squeezed out."

A specialized use of this technique was developed for teachers, the
"Alinsky Method" (ibid., p. 123). The setting or group is, however,
immaterial the point is that people in groups tend to share a certain knowledge
base and display certain identifiable characteristics (known as group dynamics).
This allows for a special application of a basic technique. The "change
agent" or "facilitator" goes through the motions of acting
as an organizer, getting each person in the target group to elicit expression
of their concerns about a program, project, or policy in question. The
facilitator listens attentively, forms "task forces," "urges
everyone to make lists," and so on. While she is doing this, the facilitator
learns something about each member of the target group. He/she identifies
the "leaders," the "loud mouths," as well as those
who frequently turn sides during the argument ­ the "weak or non­committal."

Suddenly, the amiable facilitator becomes "devil's advocate."
He/she dons his professional agitator hat. Using the "divide and conquer"
technique, he/she manipulates one group opinion against the other. This
is accomplished by manipulating those who are out of step to appear "ridiculous,
unknowledgeable, inarticulate, or dogmatic." He/she wants certain
members of the group to become angry, thereby forcing tensions to accelerate.
The facilitator is well trained in psychological manipulation. S/He is
able to predict the reactions of each group member. Individuals in opposition
to the policy or program will be shut out of the group.

The method works. It is very effective with parents, teachers, school children,
and any community group. The "targets" rarely, if ever, know
that they are being manipulated. If they do suspect this is happening,
they do not know how to end the process. The desired result is for group
polarization, and for the facilitator to become accepted as a member of
the group and group process. He/she will then throw the desired idea on
the table and ask for opinions during discussion. Very soon his/her associates
from the divided group begin to adopt the idea as if it were their own,
and pressure the entire group to accept the proposition.

This technique is a very unethical method of achieving consensus on a controversial
topic in group settings. It requires well­ trained professionals who
deliberately escalate tension among group members, pitting one faction
against the other, so as to make one viewpoint appear ridiculous so the
other becomes "sensible" whether such is warranted or not.
